FunFactsoftheVenetianRenaissance By: Katie Spring There are a lot of fun facts of the Venetian Renaissance. There are fun fact on transportation, people, and even how Venice was supposedly founded. A couple of examples of fun facts is that Venice was the leader and center of trade. Also, is that Venice had a tradition of painting their rulers dressed in state robes. The transportation of Venice is amazing! People either walk on foot or have to go on a boat, even today! Why is there so much water? One might wish to know. This cause of water is the effect of the fact that the city Venice is built on Marsh lands, and is slowly sinking in! Venice is the place where the remains of ancient Greek culture were brought together. This major city on one hundred seventeen islands formed by one hundred seventy-seven canals in shallow lagoons. Venice was settled in the fifth century A.D. by refugees from the mainland, fleeing not only the Hunnish, but the German invaders, too.
Venice was the center and leader of trade. Venice became the center with the decline of Genoese power. During the fifteen century Venice became pre-eliminate on the seas.
Venice recognized itself from the first as a strange and mysterious creation. The solemn foundation of the city is the subject of the legend. On March 25, 1413 midday, emigrants from Padua laid the first stone at the Rial. It is also said those rocks might have sacred, so that the people would have a sacred, inviolable asylum amid the devastations of the Barbarians. After decades of fighting on land, Florence, Milan, and Venice emerged as dominant players and agreed to the Peace of Lodi in 1454. In recent studies, it would seem that the model for the British empire was Venice, though it is still undetermined.
Although it is concurrent with the Italian Renaissance, the Venetian Renaissance is considered separately. Venice was a very stable, powerful, prosperous city/country where East meets West. Venice was also independent, as many of the Italians were, from the Roman Catholic Church. Also, as in many of the Italian areas, wealthy patrons eagerly supported arts for public and private use. Venetian paintings were always filled with the soft, muted, reflected light as seen in Venice. Gentile Bellini, official painter of the doge, was suppose to paint Doge Leonardo Loredan, but his brother Giovanni Bellini did instead. Venice had a tradition of painting rulers dressed in state robes; which consisted of the "corno" worn over a linen cap, originally came from the head of a doublet.
